    Ovens

    I have read mixed reviews on using them. Just wondering because I was thinking of making cookies, rolls, etc in it along with maybe fresh pizzas. Oh and my Wife likes cooking those frozen mac and cheese in a box.

    If you are going to do pizzas, you might want a pizza oven like this one: Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven, Stainless Steel, 15 in. x 26 in. x 16 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJWB230...JEHDZH4ACXJRNW.

    The oven in most RVs aren't good for baking. We have been lucky with our Furrion oven. We can do biscuits pretty well. Haven't tried much of anything else, yet.

    Same here.... wife likes to bake, and hates the Furrion oven. She says its hard to figure out how long to bake things with its inconsistencies. Suppose a thermometer (with lots of visual checks) would be a good tool to have on hand when using them.

    Yup, we have an oven thermometer in ours.

    We found both the Suburban oven in our Reflection and the Furrion oven in our Solitude to be all but useless. Neither would heat evenly nor maintain a reliable, constant temperature. Items would come out part raw and part burned - even with expensive pizza stones in the oven (which kept exploding from the focused heat, anyway) We use the convection-microwave for everything that needs baking (does a great job with pizzas). In March, at my wife's behest, I pulled the Furrion oven and cooktop out of our Solitude and sold them. There is a True Induction RV cooktop waiting for us at the kids' house when we get there in a few weeks. It has one induction element and one gas burner (more than two pots won't fit on an RV cooktop, anyway). For now Laura is cooking on our portable induction unit and is perfectly happy. We will continue to use the convection microwave for everything we don't do on the induction unit or in the Instant Pot (which we use at least every other day for one thing or another).

    Not the best oven you will ever use, but we have made cookies, rolls, baked potatoes and frozen pizza with decent results. Like others have said, having an oven thermometer will be helpful. We use a pizza stone to even out the heat, haven't had one explode yet. It heats up our trailer, a 22RBE, quite a bit.

    We use ours and as others have said, it isn't like baking at home. The biggest problem for us was getting the initial temp correct. For that, we use the infrared thermometer gun. We've found that as long as we get the starting temp correct and do not open the door, it bakes fairly evenly.

    LOL! I never even thought about using my temp gun! I use it to check the tires and hubs on the truck and camper. Dang! Nice find!
